No wonder that Bombay Sapphire is located a bit further away from the business center: this bar is meant to be a cozy place for a nice evening out with friends. The interior is simple and intuitive with the main element, as expected, to be the bar counter. The Asian theme of the bar is reflected in national musical instruments, masks and strange collection of alcoholic beverages, which is constantly growing.

Despite the Indian name, it is manufactured in England, but since the Indians revere gin no less than the British, it was decided to add some hot Oriental flavor to the cocktail card, which is a kind of a guide to the Asian countries, adjusted to local tastes and preferences.18 out of total 24 cocktail menu items are an original interpretation of the well-known classics. Each cocktail refers to a particular region of Asia: Goa, India Center, Japan, Thailand or China. Common for each particular region spices are used for cocktail preparation: bamboo leaves, lime leaves, masala, as well as rare bitters such as Thai, cardamom and curry. Some bitters are homemade, such as dairy (milk-based tea oolong) and cigar (based on Sohiba cigars and Bombay Sapphire gin).

The menu consists of both main dishes, such as soups, salads and curries, and snacks: spring rolls, fried rice with shrimp chips. In addition, from Thursday to Saturday popular Kiev DJs are playing in the bar.
